That diagram was teaching the fungibility of numbers. Afaik CC doesn't say that these things _must_ be taught this way.

To solve your problem with the same technique as the article, you would have added 1 to 52, 73 - 53 = 20, then + 1 for the answer.

You would need to know ball park anyway to see if the calculator answer made sense.
